Referring more in detail to the parts: 1

designates a glove comprising a third and fourth'finger section 2, a first and "second finger section 3, apthumb section Al, andfa wrist band 5; the third. and fourth finger section 2 (Fig; III) comprising a piece of material having separately-formed third finger portions 6, a fourth finger portion 7, havinganunbroken outer edge, and a palm portion 8; the palm portion being "inset at back portions overlie symmetrically. The first and second finger section 3 (Fig. IV) comprises a pleceof material having separately formed second finger portions 11,

a first finger portion 12, having an unbroken edge, and'a' palm portion 13 which is inset at 14 and provided with an indentation 15 for the purpose presently described.

Both the finger sections 2 and 3 are formed so thatwhen theyare "folded in the center, the parts lying on opposite sides of the fold will correspond exactly.

9 oneachside ofthebody section, and the l section being folded at the center (when assembIed in the glove)"so that the front and The thumb sections: (Fig. V) comprises apiece of material having a thumb portion 17 a ball portion 18, and an indentation 19, which corresponds in shape and size to the indentation 15 of the finger section 3, and attached by a stitching 25 to the center of the thumb section is a facing 20 which is provided with a thumb portion 21 and a portion which extends to a point near the base of the ball portion of the thumb; the elements of the thumb section being symmetrical and adapted to fold alongthe geo- Inetricalcenter, and the said parts being connected by laying the facing 20 on the thumb member and stitching the same together along the longitudinal center of both members.

In assembling the first and second finger sections 3 and the thumb section't, the parts are placed as shown in Fig. VI, with the outer face of the finger section adjoining the outer face of the thumb section, and the indentations 15 and 19 in registration, in which position the parts are stitched to gether around the edge of the indentations 15-19. The thumb section is then turned back through the indentations 15-19, so that the two inner faces adjoin, and the free edges of the thumb section brought together and stitched as clearly shown in Fig. VII.

The inset edges 9 and 14 of the palm portions 8 and 13 are then stitched together and the wristband '5 stitched to the lower edge ofall the parts to complete the glove. It'

is apparent that by forming'the inset edges '9 and 14, the fullness that would otherwise open around the fingers andalong the outer edge of the palm and fourth finger. A wrist band or guantletmay then beeasily stitched to' the lower edge of the sections and. the

' glove finally stitched around the free edges,

as clearly shown in Fig. IX.

The mitten 22 shown in Fig. X is constructed in-substantially the same manner as the gloves heretofore described; the thumb section being identical in construction and application to the thumb section of a the gloves, the body. of the mitten being formed in two sections 23 and 24:, which are folded along their geometrical center and out so that the opposite sides are symmetrical, and the section 24 being provided. with an indentation 25 corresponding to the indentation 15 of the glove, and for receiving Copies of; this patent may be obtained for Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new therein, and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is
